Its time to move on...dfx vs se...let the tests begin!

Here is an idea. Have the guys and the DFX Only forum and the Minelab Owners forum get together and host a contest that could be underwritten by numerous sponsors. The guys could work together to create a series of test beds with trash, iron, nails on top of dimes etc. and have DFX and SE users compete to win one of ten spots in each camp to compete head to head in an SE/DFX showdown, in a final brutal set of test beds. Rather than dig targets, the operators would be accompanied during the test by an official and they would report to the official when they found a target, and what they thought it was and how deep, etc. All the targets would be known by the folks who build the test site, so there would be no questions about which operator was more accurate. By getting people to compete to win entry, you get the people who are the best operators of their respective machines, and with ten each, the overall winning team could establish quit firmly the better of the two machines, or each team/machine could establish it's self as being best in certain conditions.The prize could be something like the America's Cup, and handled the same way as the Cup. Every few years the competition could be repeated, and other manufacturers could participate. There could be special events, like for underwater machines, and gold prospecting machines. It could turn into the SEMA show for metal detectors. This would great for the hobby.
Kind regards,

Wow...that would be interesting...but most of my questions have been answered by getting out 3-5 times a week this year and asking questions in both forums. My decision is that both are really good detectors and it is great having both!:detecting:
 
After using both a dfx and an se for about 12 months i honestly seemed to do better on the iron infested sites with the dfx. I kept doing tests for month after month and found the dfx to sniff musket balls and small silver coins and non iron relics out pulling more good finds out on the iron loaded sites than the SE. .
